Case of a mountain biking accident leaving the patient in a sticky situation! Luckily it went just under the skin, leaving the skull unharmed. The twig was later removed at the hospital and the patient made a full recovery. In cases like this, do not try and remove the impaled object. Pulling out the object can damage nerves and blood vessels and make the wound much worse. Tag a friend and follow us at @Medicalpedia for more!
